Dear Annie: My mother is 88 and has always been fiercely independent. She still drives, volunteers at church and insists she is “perfectly fine.” The problem is that she refuses to take the medication her doctor prescribed for her blood pressure and heart condition. She says it makes her feel “old,” and sometimes she hides the pills or claims she already took them when I know she has not.
